Now *that* is a quote.. "I shall either find a way, or make one" -- Hannibal Barca circa 221 BC
Do you not mean 221BC? 😂
I remember the first time I read his story in the history lessons from the sixth grade. I almost cried! Such a hero. Salutes!

Hannibal was a true leader and a true leader can even make his enemies respected him
Thanks bro
Yep.. back in the day great generals.. even great kings.. fought right atbthe vanguard of the battle... not miles behind the battle in a tent like today. That's how they inspired loyalty. Hannible was the kind of guy who would be scaling the walls of a city, takingvarrow fire, right beside the mist common foot soldier
Now that’s a good quote. “A true leader can make even his enemies respect him.”
@@XmrcaptainbobX here is the weird kid who growls In class again.
Nowadays, North Africa is full of leaders like him or even bettee tham him.
Hannibal wasn't scared of anything ,. His father made him swear to be an enemy of rome on blood for the rest of his life , he marched a whole army to Italy through the alpes which he lost nearly half of , He stayed in their Land for 14 years never lost a Battle to them with a single army and without any reinforcements from Carthage other than The galic tribes nor supplies from his country living of the land , he won major victories against them , Even once they encircled him in a valley he marched through the darkness of night while making them chase Fire attached to horns of cattle and then later Ambushed the Roman detachment sent to ambush him , He ambushed a whole roman army at trasimane which till this day remains the biggest and most successful ambush in the history of warfare , He won an unbelievable Victory at cannea outnumbered till the last moments of the battle , Fighting in the front with his men with one eye which resulted in the greatest Loss of humane life in a single day through the history of battles and warfare , He is the General that is more intimidating and Greater then even some kings Napoleon really considered him one of the best tacticians and he truly was , he made the rommans live in fear for 14 years , he didn't need the Great of The Conqueror added to his name , His name was enough to make anyone have chills Hannibal Barca , yet he is Super underrated
straight beast. he only had one eye?
One eye! I think a bee sting was the reason.
@@luciousbattlecat2618 No it was the swamps he got an infection in his eye not a bee sting
@@cheriefsadeksadek2108 I think your right. It happened after he made it through the alps
He sounds like the type of war leader Spartacus would've been had he been a free man. Which he was still able to bring the Romans to their knees with a handful of refugee slaves. Had he won the third servile war history would be drastically different.
The empire was not built peacefully? Name me one that was.
Yes u r right..there has been wars but there r couple of empires which was built without war like Maurya Empire in Akhand Bharat... Acharya Chanakya was the one who defeated the Nanda Dynasty without having a battle which even Alexander couldn't even defeat him😁😁👍👍🙏🙏
@@user-kt3jn7wx5f that's called a bloodless coup
Exactly !!
Maurya Empire was made through peaceful coalition
@Baby Sama 712 Thats the expansion of Marya Empire under Ashoka. Not the initial empire under Chandra Gupta.
Poor Hannibal, gifted and commanding in the battle field but representing a nation of Merchants with unreliable allies. He won numerous battles along the way but the campaign took too long and was too expensive and costly. He almost won a victory against the odds.
This is kind of close to the Leonidas story
He wasn't as gifted as kaddafi was.
@@lovepeace1552Different! Sparta was a Kingdom of warriors. Every child was raised to be a Warrior. Not Phoenicians (Carthaginian Empire). Phoenicians spread like merchants all around the Mediterranean Sea since they emerged in Levante (Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria) in 3000BC. They only entered Egypt as traders around 1100BC. In its peak around 1250BC the Carthaginian Empire spread trade ports from Malta to Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia where they built Carthage, Argelia, Morocco and the South of the Iberian Peninsula. They're considered the first rukers of the Mediterranean Sea, before Greeks and Persians. But not 'cause they were Warriors. They were mostly Merchants and Sea People.
Hannibal almost got the job done. Just like Spartacus the Gladiator. Both instilled fear among the Romans.
Spartacus came nearly 300 years after Hannibal. He was the first to truly weaken Rome
At cannae, Hannibal pulled off possibly the most crazy mind game in all of miltary history
I feel like Hannibal's brain worked like this: he thought defeat began in the mind. So even though Carthage was clearly weaker after his father's war than Rome, he realized this created an opportunity. They were strong but overconfident. Victory can make you weak and Hannibal exploited this. He did what the Romans would never expect over and over. What he did not expect himself is that he could inflict appalling defeats on the Romans over and over and they would simply refuse to back down because they couldn't process the concept. This was a cultural difference he simply didn't understand; Carthage and most other ancient people's like the Greeks had a "yeah we lost we'll get 'em next time" attitude. To the Romans (of the period) it was total victory or destruction. Unacceptable even insane loses didn't phase them because they didn't even think of the concept of capitulation.
That trait of theirs is both the their greatest strength and weakness
I would like to remind all the supporters of Carthage and Hannibal one thing
The Carthaginians attacted Italy and Rome , first
I don't think that Carthage ever realize that Rome wasn't a city state anymore... and ,a part from Rome, also the Greeks of Sicily were against Carthage
Yes the Romans were stubborn for not backing down but I believe that Romans were just more strategically minded than Hanibal was and more ruthless. They couldn't beat Carthage on the battlefield in Italy instead adopting the Fabian strategy of starving Hannibal of victory wearing his army in Italy down while attacking carthages own territories giving Rome a chance to raise new and train new legions that would be experienced veterans by the battle of zama. The Roman navy blockaded carthage trade and used diplomacy to keep Macedonian states out of the war. Hanibal was the stuborn one because he spent another decade in Italy growing weak after the battle of Cannae refusing to accept that he had failed to defeat Rome and failing to understand that Rome was ruthlessly refusing to fight his War.
@@jmcfintona999 Undoubtedly Fabius is a legend. Most Romans hated him though for his (smart) responses to Hannibal's moves. They wanted decisive victory. It can not be doubted the Romans were rocked on their heels by Hannibal though; the difference is they had the power to regroup where as Hannibal was mostly cut off with out support from Carthage. And then the Young Scipio emerged who had studied Hannibal closely, realized where his power base came from, and how to close with him on the battlefield effectively.
@@BrettCagwin49ers people talk of Hanibal as one of the greatest generals but they ignore the strategic brilliance of fabius. Who else in that postion would have thought to cede the battlefield to hannibal and instead starve and conquer carthaginian lands. The Romans also had to make moves to keep the Alexanderian successor kingdoms from aiding hanibal or invading Italy. Big mistake on the part of the Greeks.
Legend has it that he eats his enemies!
And he does it with class.
That is very funny
With a nice cianti
That's Cannibal Barca you're mistaken.

If Hannibal Barca had full support from Carthage, would Rome have fallen?
No because Hannibal’s logistics were overstretched by that point so the Romans would revolt until Hannibal just gave up or died
It's one of those questions right up there with Alexander as an old man gazing out at the ocean from the coast of Gaul.
One of the problems is that NO unitary state has EVER survived comparible damage like that Hannible inflicted on the Republic. The Roman's had a huge population by the standards of the day. Combined with the best army on the planet. We also tend to forget that the city (which would have looked very different Greek influences a lot less) was a formidable fortress.
I personally think more support in the second half of the 15 years he was in Italy COULD have changed the outcome. We read in the Roman's own accounts that they were struggling with manpower and food shortages. He was already the national boogeyman by this time, and they hesitated to close with his main body in southern Italy. More armies raised by carthage and (just for example) sent to the Spanish front - might have turned the tide....
Its a continuous position. Given the Romans strength. I also think it's similar to British and French recognition to the CSA. Perhaps the Federals still "win"....but its a "ragged end". Perhaps a partially changed outcome.
Even with full support of Carthage, he cant
But if philip sent some siege engines, he could
@@AndromedaPrima I think that's probably true. Or you could say if Carthage had hired/sent them.
Yes it would’ve
"Hannibal is at the gate" - Rome nightmare
I love courageous people
"Either I find my way or I make one"
Hannibal is one of at least ELEVEN people to hold the title of "Rome's Worst Nightmare". But shockingly, Hannibal was NOT the first. That honor belongs to the first guy to EVER sack Rome: Brennus. The Eleven Nightmares of Rome are (in chronological order):
-Brennus
-Hannibal
-Viriathas
-Spartacus
-Vercingetorix
-Arminius
-Boudicca
-Fritigern
-Alaric
-Atilla
-Geiseric
plus some emperors also nero commodus
@@krishnavchowdhry1437 Nero was a good emperor to Rome. He just got his infamy on his Christian persecution and invading Israel due to them starting to rebel other then his mother causing him to go insane.
@B Whit Cleopatra doesn't really belong on that list. She wasn't really a "Nightmare" of Rome, but more a principal ally to certain Roman individuals, namely Caesar and Antony. And you can NOT leave off Alaric, the man who sacked Rome in 410 AD.
Some of the person you mentioned doesn't qualify as a "nightmare" for Rome.
Vercingetorix, Arminius and Boudicca (among others) were all fighting a defensive war. Neither of them couldn't even think of attacking Rome or any other place lying in Italian peninsula.
Their victories were undoubtedly brilliant, but unlike Hannibal or Brennus, Rome *never* faced any existential threat from them. So they simply couldn't be considered as Rome's worst "nightmare".
@just a BASED guy All true, but Hannibal's major problem was that his strategy was battle-centric. And when a select few Romans figured that out (Fabius Maximus and Scipio Africanus), they pushed for denying him what he needed most to win, and it worked. Hannibal became a case of "the best way to fight is to not fight at all".

Carthage it's Tunis today the capital of Tunisia as Tunisian very proud of my history
Yes 👍
Yes the land maybe but not you guys.. Carthaginians were Massacred down to the last child and the few remaining were sold into slavery far away from Carthage.. You people are not the decendant of Phoenicians.
@@kysike666 Yes but majority of Carthaginian citizen were local from the region not Phoenicians, the Phoenicians were the elite who had the higher positions but the rest were Berber for the area were Cartage were build, you can't cut Roman history from the Italians e.g because 70% of them were not related to Roman ancestors.
+ the Roman build Cartage once again the city were mostly mixed mostly local Berber and the rest from the Mediterranean some Tunisian until today had Italian _(Romans DNA)_ and very few had Phoenician,
And most of remaining of sailors bodies of the Carthaginian ships in bottom of the sea,were belong to Berber DNA's.

Yes, like in the case of Alexander and Philip II, the father laid the foundation for the "miracles" of their sons. Also in both cases in popular knowledge both are eclipsed by their son.
Hannibal only selected the best of his troops over for dinner.
The Phoenicians came from the Canaanites and the Canaanites were black. Canaan was from Ham. Hannibal and the ancient Egyptians were black you racist losers!

Hannibal was a Phoenician descendant. He had a connection with the Hebrews then.
So he's part Rome part Spaniard ?.
@@RicardoPerez-rz8pu Hebrews were the 12 tribes of Israel from the Bible. Phoenicians or caananites were the people they defeated when they took over the land of Israel. They were the people most famous for doing cannibalism rituals with their gods. That’s where the name came from. Hannibal wasn’t a Canaanite though since he wasn’t born in Caanan. The Hebrews were scared of them since they were very intimidating looking and the ones who refused to settle in Canaan wondered around the wilderness for 25 more years.
@@psychedelicpayroll5412 I think that's Hebrew propaganda from the Old Testament or sth. The Phoenicians were great traders and explorers, they formed colonies and gave the alphabet to Europeans. They had a remarkable culture more based on commerce and diplomacy than war. They hardly sound like "cannibalistic". The name probably derives from the Romans using it as a "boogie man" stereotype for hundreds of years after Hannibal and Carthage ceased to exist.
Meaning the true hebrews were black

In ancient tradition, the Phoenicians migrated to the area from “the Red Sea”at some point in the distant past - but the one written account is confusing because the author sometimes uses “Red Sea” the way we do and sometimes uses it to mean what we’d call the Persian Gulf. Since Phoenician was a Northwest Semitic language, closely related to Hebrew, it’s more likely that the Red Sea in question is ours. In any case they would resemble modern Lebanese, Syrians, Palestinians and Sephardi Jews: modern genetic studies use haplogroup J2 as a proxy for this rough grouping. It shows a noticeable concentration in the eastern Mediterranean, but there are also strong traces in coastal North Africa where the old Carthaginian empire was centered.
For the 30th time Hannibal was not black and NEVER WILL BE
Hannibal was phoecian so his heritage was lebenese...lebenese geno is spread among syrians and jordanians and palestinians as well being arab they spread to north africa and southern spain and sicily hence why they look similar dark features olive skin
He is decent of Phoenician and locals in Tunisia ;) and for sure it's olive skin not black , it's our Tunisian Pride
@@sayarihamza224 he is one of my favourite generals he was exceptional in his tactics
The phoenicians were black and so was hannibal
@@bluelotusnefertoum2144 They weren't, we have sampled their DNA many, many times, not once were there genes discovered with an association with black skin, rather the opposite just genes associated with a lightly pigmented skin.
@@dyingstarsshinebrightest1640 The obvious LOGICAL TRUTH is within social media NOT whitewashed videos. Carthage and all ancient Africa were black and brown people of their native lands.

Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander, Corona ( in 2020 ) at the gates 🤔🤔
The Phoenicians came from the Canaanites and the Canaanites were black. Canaan was from Ham. Hannibal and the ancient Egyptians were black you racist losers! Ham literally means black and he was the progenitor of ALL Africans according to Genesis. So I'll believe the Bible over racist white people any day. And yes Hebrews were black too.

I don't know why they don't want to act movies on this inspiring histories
Its because he is black, they just draw him white because... well thats the way they interpret history
@@Thr3egod Very wrong, Carthaginians were originally Phoenicians and a very large part of the population was still ethnically and genetically Phoenicians during the Punic wars. Meaning that although Carthage was a meltingpot of various ethnicities the majority still resembled/looked like people from the middle east.
Representation is important, therefore one should look into the history unbiased and solely make conclusions if the information supports it. Not turn and twist it because you want it to support your political views.
@@mr.2083 you read your history from books. I recall my history from memory. We are not on the same page, figuratively speaking obviously... but you can keep going as much as you like its good to know what you people are thinking

Rome was not an empire, on Hanibals era
Technically it was. The names we have for Rome are a modern invention.
Wonder how history would’ve changed if Carthage had over powered Rome
we would all be speaking Carthaginian instead of Latin
"New Netflix Original series "New West"! What if Hannibal of Carthage conquered Rome? Where would we be now?"
Maybe have pop culture cameos of where they might be in an alternate timeline, Hulk Hogan appears as a guy selling mattresses, Queen Latifah appears as one of those no nonsense street merchants who both sells and kills the bird right there on the spot like its just a casual "whatever" thing, Will Smith slaps a camel and promptly gets mauled in the background, Rowan Atkinson and Mr Beast are farmers who are neighbors who hate and prank eachother, Macaulay Culkin and Mark Hammil are philosophers at a university having a heated debate that turns into a brawl, Elvis founded "Presley" and thats their worlds Disney but he still died from heart problems and eating "Fools Golden Loaf" which was apparently something he liked. Little cameos.
Also, if you are wondering what "Fools Golden Loaf" is I'll save you the search, its roughly 8000 kcal of "sandwich" and its made by the Colorado Mine Company which is a restaurant in Denver Colorado. It is made of, and I quote: 1 warmed single hollowed out loaf of bread filled with 1 Jar of creamy peanut butter, 1 jar of grape jelly and 1 pound (450 g) of bacon in the middle. (thats not a sandwich, thats diabetes warmed over)
true a month of waiting and one hour of battle
To all the uneducated hypocrites claiming Hannibal was black...
Hannibal was a Carthaginian of Phoenician descent. Carthage is located in current Tunisia, and Phoenicia is the current Levant, which comprises the countries of Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine. Do a quick Google search for images of Tunisians and Levantines, and see if they are black. Sure, they aren't very white, but they are much closer to Europeans than Sub-Saharan Africans.
But I won't base my entire argument on Google searches. I have history and geography to further prove my point.
The Sahara desert is a huge, sparsely populated, nearly impassable geographical barrier, greatly hindering migration from North Africa to the rest of the continent. On the other hand, North Africa is connected to Southern Europe and the Middle East through the Mediterranean Sea: a large, easily navigable body of water.
Ships were the fastest and cheapest method of transport for all of human history until the advent of planes, so what do you think is more likely to happen: Southern Europeans, Levantines and North Africans intermixing and acquiring a similar phenotype, or Sub-Saharans migrating all the way through the Sahara to get there?
Besides, there were many advanced civilizations on the Mediterranean coast with the capabilities to provide transportation for such migrations and population intermixing. Sub-Saharan Africa, on the other hand, was mostly a primitive tribal society (note, *mostly*) until the middle ages and the European colonization, as a direct result of its isolation due to the Sahara.
Of course, there were blacks in the Mediterranean region, coming in mostly from Egypt through the Nile or through Arabia from the Red Sea, but they were, and still are, a small minority in that area.
Claiming Hannibal was black merely because he was African is a blatant display of ignorance and racism. Instead, why don't you take pride in *actual* black historical figures, like Mansa Musa, Mvemba a Nzinga, Shaka Zulu..?
Most people are incredibly ignorant. They barely know who Hannibal was. They get mad when you tell them Cleopatra was Greek.
Hey I remember this character from Barbarians Rising on the HISTORY channel.
Lol
Oof yeah. A black Hannibal.... 😞
Nothing like a black Achilles, History channel has no shame. As South Park says "History channel, where the truth is History."
@@tomurg Eh the main people they traced to were Numidians so is that really a problem despite many depictions not showing as that in the slightest.
@@1986tessie There is that though ironically it isn’t much different than doing that to people who weren’t anything like what most Western media or Asian media portrays people
Yall made Hannibal wth Wow lol
What held him,he had no navy. If he had, Rome wouldn't have disappeared.
Hannibal berca sleep well my greatest grandfather🐎🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

One of the most powerfull comander and coldblood killer that history ever seen it will be remembered as the nightmare of Rome
Annibale crossed the Alps at Colle delle Traversette; ; his brother Asdrubale crossed the Alps at Petit St Bernard...
Hannibal was not black, he certainly looked like modern Tunisians. Africa is not a small island but a huge continent with lot of diversity. And we north-africans, Berbers or Egyptians, are not black.
Bro, I am also an African - from Kenya. We know that Hannibal was not black like Southern Saharan Africans, and we don’t feel the need to claim he was to make ourselves feel better (for what reason, I don’t know).
The people who claim that Hannibal, the Egyptians, and other random historical figures were black tend to be African Americans, and they tend to be part of some weird cult known as the Black Hebrew Israelites. These people have basically been brainwashed. So don’t be offended by these clowns who try to claim your history as their own, they do not represent the vast majority of black people.
In a way, it’s a testament to the grandness of the ancient Egyptian civilisation that so many have tried to claim it as their own (including the Nazis who claimed all the great ancient civilizations were started by ‘Aryans’).
So many are still in awe at the achievements your ancient ancestors accomplished that some don’t even believe that ancient humans were capable of doing what they did - instead claiming ‘aliens’ are responsible.
I once read a quote that said, “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not yet completely sure about the universe.” Modern science tells us that the universe is limited, but no scientific evidence yet exists for the finite limitation of human stupidity. The black Hebrew Israelites, on the other hand, are merely one more example of the boundless nature of human ignorance.

Interesting video but leaves a lot of Hannibal's deeds unmentioned

i dont really care but good vid tho!
Hannibal was brilliant. I mean, Hannibal’s Steps? He just made his own route out of the Alps, that’s some next-level out of the box thinking.
I didn't know till now he was missing a right eye
I love the white pictures of Hannibal
